VeriFone said the business will focus on sales, consulting and implementation of VeriShield Protect and VeriShield Retain, as well as future initiatives aimed at helping retailers and processors protect consumer data and reducing the complexities and costs of PCI compliance.

Jeff Wakefield, formerly VP of marketing for VeriFone's Integrated Systems business, was named general manager and VP of the new business unit.

"To effectively protect cardholder data against current and future threats, complete security solutions must span both merchant and processor systems," said VeriFone CEO Doug Bergeron.
